A mechanical pacemaker sets rhythmic nephron formation in the kidney
2023-11-21
Abstract excerpt
The developing mammalian kidney exponentially duplicates nephron-forming stem cell niches at the tips of the urinary collecting duct tree to achieve massively parallel function. Nephron formation rate has a clinically meaningful effect on person-to-person variability in nephron endowment 1–5 , while exerting in vitro control could enable sustained waves of nephrogenesis in organoid-derived synthetic kidney tissu...
